Well. Let's see.

I've held the title of "Executive Developer" for a line of games that produced 5 supplements, plus did two wholly credited freelance projects.

...in the wargame field.

I've been published in this industry since 1989

...if you include submitting rules questions and having them answered in the format of "Ken Burnside submitted question <xyz>, and the answer is <npq>

I've had articles published on game rule design to high acclaim, and have set standards that are held throughout the industry.

...Hmm. This is actually true as written. I wrote an article on game design for a wargame that got published in print. I later used that article to generate a submission template that were used for three companies.

I run a game company.

...and a nearly profitable one...even after going to Origins and GenCon, it generated more money than I spent on going to the shows (which I would have done anyway) and on printing. Just about tripled my "slush fund" account in fact.

Huh. Man, this is harder than I thought...
